2.4GHz RADIO

Ready-built right out of the box and fitted with an all-new

crystals, the radio prevents frequency conflicts automatically.

A strong chassis and smart layout is
important for any racing maching, and it's no different with 1/8
scale rallycross buggies. The Pulse, with its high performance
design, takes in all the latest racing refinements from the fastest
buggies on the track and combines them in a fast and durable
package! Check out the top features of the chassis and layout:

A strong suspension design that is easy to
adjust and control is key to a good racing machine, no matter what
size it is or what type of racing you're doing. Our designers
looked at all the top-performing cars out there and combined the
best suspension designs into one ultra-competitive package. The
Pulse gives you full adjustability: anti-dive, anti-squat, camber,
caster, droop, Ackerman, roll centre, camber link position, shock
position and wheelbase.

Proven race geometry with championship-inspired design. The
zero kingpin 'inverse angle block' design is a definite winner, and
out on the track it will give you the confidence you desire as you
go head to head against the club pros!

Extra-strong race-engineered suspension arms are designed with
the optimal balance of strength and flex to tackle the most
demanding racing tracks and racing drivers!

The front shock tower is 7075 aluminium for extra durability
and increased reliability. The rear shock tower is 6061 aluminium,
anodized the same cool gunmetal grey.

15mm dia large bore shocks handle the bumps and jumps, soaking
up everything you throw the Pulse at. With a 6061 aluminium body,
o-ring seals and thick shock shafts you know your tyres will be
stuck to the ground when you need traction and control.

No e-clips anywhere! The Pulse uses strong steel hex-head
screws with locknuts to secure the suspension in place.

The engine fitted in the Pulse RTR is the amazing Nitro Star
K4.6 HO, the legendarily powerful .28-size powerplant that makes
this one of the fastest RTR buggies you can find today!

At the front, rear and centre of the Pulse
are tough and reliable gear diffs with 4-gear internals for extreme
durability, and all three are filled with silicone oil for extra
tuning ability. The factory settings are a great all-around
starting point for most drivers, but you can easily adjust the
torque settings with different diff greases to your preferred
driving style.

Easy-access diff cases allow you to get straight to each diff
with minimal interference so you can swap out diff oils and tune
the car's drivetrain directly.

Front universals get the power from the diffs to the wheels
smoothly and with no loss of power. At the rear and in the centre
of the car are heavy duty dogbones to handle the delivery of power
to all four corners.

HPI makes it as easy as possible to get into
RC Off-Road action. The Pulse 4.6 is completely pre-built and ready
to go right out of the box! Everything is assembled and tuned for
you by professionals - diffs, shocks, suspension and more are
perfect before you even open the package. And with many top racing
features already installed, you don't have to do a thing to get
going fast! HPI Ready-To-Run vehicles bring you the same high
performance and quality that you'd expect from a high end RC kit
but with the added convenience of being factory pre-assembled to
the highest standards - giving you a high performance RC truck
straight from the box!

Just like all HPI cars and trucks, you get a full, in-depth
instruction manual with step-by-step instructions that allow you to
easily disassemble and reassemble your truck for maintenance and
easy servicing. The manual also includes a handy parts list and
full-scale drawings of the parts and hardware.
